I got this boytle as a gift, and althought i uave seen yhis brand before, i was never inclined to get one. It was aleays, one of these days. So, the first aurprise was the nise, didnt get any spicies, but instead what i atteibutted to berries, fruity but not super sweet. Thisbis interesting because on some PX sherry scothes i get at times a little funkiness. The palate was soft with kore fruits in the middle with a little pepper. The finish was a little short, but flavourful. In summary, thisbis a very enjoyable whiskey to me (neat). Cheers
